Gigabyte shows X870 motherboard with 3D-printed metal heatsinks

Gigabyte showed off the X870-Aorus Infinity Next motherboard at Computex. This has 3D printed metal heatsinks and vapor chambers. The manufacturer claims that these heatsinks provide a larger cooling area and therefore better cooling performance.

The Infinity Next motherboard has various metal elements that are 3D printed, using metal powder that is then heated and melted together. Gigabyte claims that the M.2 heatsink therefore has a cooling surface that is 44 percent larger, although it is not immediately clear what this is being compared to.

The manufacturer also showed more GeForce Infinity cards at the fair. At CES, Gigabyte showed off an RTX 5090 model, but it will be joined by RTX 5080, RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 cards. With these cards, the PCB is split into separate PCBs, so that the fans can blow straight through the video card and are not blocked by the PCB. This should ensure relatively good cooling performance in a compact design.

Gigabyte does not report when the Infinity motherboard and video cards will appear. A price has not yet been announced.
